@ -7,20 +7,20 @@ How to update the Linux-libre Kernel ebuild for a new version
3. Check the `gentoo-kernel` ebuild for changes to the Gentoo config and
patches versions.
4. If the Gentoo patchset version has changed:
1. Update the patchset version in the `libre-kernel` ebuild.
2. Extract the patchset from the `gentoo-kernel` ebuild and see if
there are any new patches, or patches removed.
2. Most patches aside from the `1000`- series that patch the entire
kernel should work.
3. Add all new patches that apply to the patchset in the ebuild.
4. Make sure ebuild applies patches with `ebuild
libre-kernel-X.Y.Z.ebuild clean prepare`.
4. If the Gentoo config version has changed:
5. Update the config version in the `libre-kernel` ebuild.
6. Make sure ebuild applies config changes with `ebuild
1. Make sure the patch version offset thingy matches gentoo-kernel.
2. Make sure config version is the same.
3. Make sure the config hash is the same.
4. Make sure ebuild applies config changes with `ebuild
libre-kernel-X.Y.Z.ebuild clean prepare`.
5. Run `pkgdev manifest` to have portage download the libre kernel files
and update the manifest.
5. Attempt to build the kernel using `ebuild libre-kernel-X.Y.Z.ebuild
clean merge`. You might need to use `sudo` or `doas` for this.
6. Update `virtual/dist-kernel` package to new version.
6. Update `virtual/dist-kernel` package to new version, by copying the
proper dist-kernel ebuild from the gentoo repo, and adding
`sys-kernel/libre-kernel` to its list of possible deps.
7. Make sure `virtual/linux-sources` is up to date. This package rarely
changes, but updating it follows the same procedure as
`virtual/dist-kernel`.
If the build succeeds, the new ebuilds can be pushed to the repository.
